A postdoctoral research associate position is immediately available for a project supported by NIH at Multi-modality Biomedical Ultrasound Imaging Lab (KIM Lab https://sites.pitt.edu/~kangkim/) in the Center for Ultrasound Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics (http://www.imagingtherapeutics.pitt.edu/), housed at the Department of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. The aim of the project is to develop a novel hybrid noninvasive imaging modality to characterize atherosclerotic plaques, combining ultrasound-induced thermal strain imaging and super resolution ultrasound imaging techniques. The study involves computer simulations for ultrasound signal/image processing, beamforming and tissue and vessel modeling, water tank experiments using the tissue/vessel mimicking phantoms, and excised tissue specimens, and in vivo animal model.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter, their CV, and the names and contact information of three references electronically to the email address given below. The position opening is immediate and will remain open until filled.
